“This nomination is a testament to the power of purpose-driven work and the importance of community care,” said Imhoff. “I am truly honored to be recognized alongside so many phenomenal Caribbean women who are leading with courage, compassion, and vision.”
WISH also extends heartfelt congratulations to the other Antiguan nominees who are being celebrated for their outstanding leadership and achievements.
Their nominations reflect the remarkable talent, tenacity, and impact emerging from Antigua and Barbuda, and WISH encourages the public to support each of these women as they represent our nation on the regional stage.
